Custom miScript miRNA PCR Array

This QIAGEN custom array is part of the miScript miRNA PCR system, designed for tailored microRNA profiling research. Listed within the manufacturer's Assay Technologies portfolio under the Consumables budget line, it supports customer-defined miRNA detection studies. According to QIAGEN, the miScript miRNA PCR system was announced for phase-out, with production scheduled to stop on May 1, 2021, while remaining stock is available.

For researchers requiring a current alternative, QIAGEN recommends the miRCURY LNA miRNA Custom PCR Panel as the successor product. The miRCURY LNA miRNA PCR systems incorporate locked nucleic acid (LNA) bases into their primers and probes, allowing highly specific miRNA quantification without a preamplification step. The LNA-enhanced design provides increased primer binding affinity, enabling short primers that remain miRNA-specific and avoid overlap when binding the target sequence. Both SYBR Green- and probe-based versions are available, combining a universal reverse transcription reaction with sensitive qPCR detection for a broad range of sample types.
